Our good friend Ken from Island Rover said we'd need to penetrate the ice-flows calving from the John Hopkins Glacier if we wanted to somehow reach the huge Marjorie Glacier. He said it wouldn't be easy. It wasn't easy, but we did it, we did it by following the National Geographic vessel Sea Bird which cut a convenient path for us through the pack-ice. Once through this frozen barrier an incredible world opened up; we were all alone in this wild wilderness.
We've now produced a five minute video trailer of our adventure into the depths of Glacier Bay. We left Hoonah on remote Chigacoff Island to head across the Icy Strait to Glacier Bay and were joined by our best friend and step-brother Gary Cole who assisted in the filming of our seven day voyage. It was an amazing experience, described in detail in our blog 'On Thin Ice' below.
The 'FINDING ALASKA' trailer has been produced by Ungless Freelance Media Productions.
